Who We AreDNC

The Dunwoody Nature Center was established in 1990 to develop, improve, and preserve twenty-two acres of DeKalb County’s Dunwoody Park as a natural classroom for environmental education.

The park features woodland and creekside trails; wetlands boardwalk; display gardens; picnic meadow; playhouse; treehouse learning pavilion; and shaded playground.

Come and play in our park!
